The London Eye is located on the banks of the Thames, just across from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Completed in 2000, this huge Ferris wheel was built on its side, and painstakingly lifted into place. At more than 400 feet high, it’s now the fourth-tallest structure in London. It takes 30 minutes to complete one revolution. Each of the 32 gondolas holds around 25 passengers in air-conditioned comfort. It’s also possible to book a gondola for a private function, or even a wedding. From the top, you’ll see sweeping views across the city and countryside, up to 25 miles away.
伦敦眼位于泰晤士河畔,就在大本钟和国会大厦对面。这座巨大的摩天轮于2000年建造完成,大费周章地矗立在岸边。伦敦眼高度超过400英尺,如今是伦敦第四高的建筑。完整的旋转一圈需要30分钟。伦敦眼一共有32个带空调的座舱,每个座舱可以容纳大约25名乘客。这些座舱也可以预定用作私人用途,甚至可以举办婚礼。在最高点,你将会横扫整个城市和乡村的美景,最远可以看到25英里。
